Im trying to decide between three cards...
3850 256mb @ 190
8800 256mb @ 214
3850 512mb @ 224
(prices in CAD btw)

the other thing im trying to figure out is at what resolution ill be running on. My monitor doesn't support high resolutions so im not sure if 512mb of memory would make a difference.

on viewsonics website it says the optimal resoltion is 1366x768 but later on shows that the maximum resolution is 1280x768.

Lets say i game at 1280x768 (because it's the most the monitor supports), would the 512mb or memory provide a good increase in fps?

thanks
Matt
 
The 512mb will not give you any benifits in the cards your looking at .. it would slow them down if they loaded 512mb into the ram ... your better of with a 256mb card and I would say take the 8800 series .

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
